Each of us has unalienable rights, of which one of those rights, is that we have been so gifted by God with free will. That of which we call free will, means exactly what it so implies; signifying that we are free to do or attempt to do whatever that is that we so will. After all, it must be taken into fair consideration, that any sentient being so created, that has imposed limitations upon their will, is by definition, not free. So then, we are provided with that free will, to enable us to be and to thereby make decisions, that are ours to own, for better or for worse.
That said, all the troubles that we so encounter in this material experience, as well as those of experiences beyond this world, lay at the feet of our misapplication of will. After all, those that err in judgment, in action, and in thought, cannot reasonably expect that all will be well when they try to reunite with that which is perfection, itself. Of course, having free will, for even those with the best of intentions, invariably means that errors will be made, advertent or inadvertent; of which, the resolution for such, must be to correct those wrongs, by doing good, and thus making up for those misdeeds by right thinking and by lending a helping hand to others.
So then, the sin that we so create, is really a reflection of a free will, gone wrong. This thus signifies that we need to control our will in a way and manner, that is consistent with our desire to love our neighbor as our self, and thereby to be just and fair in all that we say and do. This indicates that the incumbent burden that each of us thereby so ends up carrying, is obviously consistent to that individual and their will; so that, those that are slow learners, or refuse to learn via their mistakes, will invariably have to address and to re-address their faults, again and again, until they so get it right. There are, no shortcuts to heaven, for heaven, is a meritocracy, of which sincere repentance, while certainly having its place, is not the be-all and end-all of how we achieve heaven; for, in reality, we do not go to heaven, but rather we, through our rightful actions, grow or earn our way into heaven.
Again, we are free will agents, in which, many a person, finds that having the power of that free will, is to a certain extent, godlike. But gods, we are not, for the only god worth worshipping, is not going to be a god of error and ego, but only one of perfection and justice. This indicates that the very best homage that we can ever provide to that which first created us, is to be circumspect in our usage of that free will, and further to the thought, to do the right thing, consistently; so as to prove that God’s trust and confidence in us, was never misplaced. Those then that successfully do this, have fairly earned that which was always theirs to be had, by birthright.
